WATCH: Arnold Schwarzenegger RIPS Newsom’s Democrat Gerrymandering Scheme
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a fan of current Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting proposal.
During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Schwarzenegger said that Democrat attempts to game the system only end up hurting the American people.
He also criticized Newsom’s attempt to undo everything California has done to fight against gerrymandering.
Namely, Newsom wants to dismantle California’s Independent Redistricting Commission and seize the power for himself.
Under Newsom’s proposal, the independent commission would be re-established in a few years, but Schwarzenegger is highly suspicious.
“I think when they say this is temporary, there is no such thing,” Schwarzenegger warned, “that’s total fantasy.”
Watch for yourself here:

Number two, I think when they say this is temporary, there is no such thing. I mean, the longest programs are government programs that are “temporary.” Just remember that — if it is a tax program or if it is a redistricting program — anything that is temporary with government is permanent.
In the year 2032, when the independent redistricting commission is supposed to come back, they’re going to say, “Wait a minute, there’s still gerrymandering going on in Texas. There’s still gerrymandering going on in Ohio. There’s still gerrymandering going on in Florida. We have to continue with the gerrymandering.” That’s what’s going to happen. They will find an excuse.
Therefore, I don’t think it is temporary. That’s total fantasy. The second thing is that you cannot cheat your way out of it. What the Democrats should do is outperform Trump.
To me, it’s all about competition — competition creates performance. What they’re doing with the redistricting commission is trying to draw district lines in such a way that they get voted in no matter if they work well or not for the American people. So the American people get cheated. That is really the problem here.
During that same CNN segment, Schwarzenegger also schooled Jake Tapper on the “extreme gerrymandering” that has been happening in blue states for a very long time now.
He pointed out that in states like New Mexico and Massachusetts, Republicans make up half of the vote but get zero representation in Congress.

NEW: Arnold Schwarzenegger claps back at CNN’s Jake Tapper, calls out “extreme gerrymandering” in blue states.
Tapper: “Do you believe that the Republican Party is starting this?”
Schwarzenegger: “No, Jake. There has been gerrymandering going on for 200 years.”
“There is such extreme gerrymandering going on that in a state like Massachusetts, it has like 40% of the people voting for Trump, they have zero representatives.”
“The Republican Party has zero representatives sent to the House. Think about that.”
“In New Mexico, 45% of the people voted for Trump and vote Republican, and zero is sent to the House, zero representatives from the Republican Party.”
Whatever you think about him, Schwarzenegger made a lot of great points here.
Jake Tapper looked stunned!
But I want to add on a few things…
The redistricting efforts we see happening in states like Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina are an effort to counter blue states who have been severely gerrymandering things in their favor for centuries.
In other words, it’s an attempt to give the American people — and particularly Republicans — back their voice after Democrats cheated them out of it.
Newsom’s redistricting proposal, on the other hand, is nothing more than another scheme to cement Democrat control in California.
Why is he so concerned about it, you may ask?
Take a look at this:

If you’re in California, be sure to make your voice heard and vote a big, fat ‘NO’ on Prop 50!
It’s very important.
